The Archer Film Festival is a high school student film festival dedicated to empowering female filmmakers. Our goal is not to exclude men, but rather to include women. As a result, the festival is open to all high school student filmmakers.

"Gender equality has been slow in coming but there has definitely been progress. It is now up to women in leadership positions to bring more women along."
